Templates

The HTML templates page is a Mustache/HTML template editor for the platform's built-in web hosting. Templates are stored in the database (not on disk) and rendered when a sitemap route is requested.

Requires an active configuration. Select one on the Settings page first.

The Templates page

Layout

Two columns: a tree of folders and template files on the left, and an editor on the right. Use New Folder / New Template to create items; select an item to edit it.

Template types

TypeMeaning
GroupA folder — not rendered
HTML TemplateA Mustache HTML file — a page or a partial
ScriptA JavaScript file in the template system

Form fields

  • Name
  • Type — Group / HTML Template / Script
  • Parent Folder — for nesting under a group
  • Layout checkbox and Default checkbox (see below)
  • A Monaco editor — html for HTML templates, javascript for scripts (hidden for groups)

Templates are saved with a reference derived from their name and parent, so renaming effectively creates a new template.

Mustache syntax

Logic-less Mustache:

TagPurpose
{{variable}}HTML-escaped output
{{{variable}}}Unescaped HTML output
{{#section}}…{{/section}}Conditional block or loop over an array
{{^section}}…{{/section}}Inverted block (renders when falsy/empty)
{{> partial_name}}Include another template by name

Layouts

  • Layout (is_layout) marks a template as the outer HTML shell (<html>…<body>…</body></html>). Sitemap routes point at a layout, and the deepest matching route with a layout wins.
  • Default (is_default) makes a layout the fallback when a route sets no layout of its own. Only one template per config should be the default.

Typical project structure

layouts/
  main.html      ← is_layout=true, is_default=true — <html>, <head>, nav, footer
pages/
  home.html      ← page partial, included via {{> pages/home}} from the layout

CSS & JS files

Static assets (styles, scripts) are not stored as templates — they live on the tenant's disk and are managed in the File manager. Reference them from a template's <head>:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/cdn/css/style.css">
<script src="/cdn/js/app.js"></script>
